Basically people will call really visually pleasing things within a hobby porn. Like on some places online you can find food porn, which is simply really delicious looking food that’s nicely presented( Yes it’s kinda an edgy joke to call it porn).
But it’s not made to be sexual and no one except maybe 0000000000.1% of people( I don’t want to think about it) probably get turned on by it.
Anyway back to riceing DWM and st.
I think you meant to put that decimal a bit further left…
Sorry, yes: 0000000000.10000000000%
Thanks, it makes more sense now.
What? Its the same as .1%, or. 01? .00000000001 would be what you’d want no?
It was a joke, I think
No, they did not
0000000000.1% = 0.1%
and why Unix? Linux ain’t unix.
It’s not just GNU/Linux what people show in unixporn: some rice macOS, some rice BSD, and some even rice Android. What do they have in common? They’re all based on UNIX.
They’re all based on UNIX.
technically not, rather, they’re unix-like since unix was a proprietary system
Also never understood why it’s called “rice” instead of a “theme”. Every DE uses the term “theme” but /unixporn uses the term “rice” for some reason.
Ricing came from the term rice-rocket from Japanese car enthusiasts which referred to the mods for their cars (physical mods, paint, stickers, etc). Transformed into rice/ricing eventually just because terms tend to shorten, and eventually jumped to other circles.
I usually think of a theme as a widely distributed/standardized set of appearances that anyone can load and use while a rice is customized and unique to that person
The only thing that comes to me is that someone who was really into tuning/spiffing up Japanese cars was involved in the community early on. I’ve always found it weird, and I’d honestly kinda prefer to just use “theme” or “spiff” or one of the many other words that the Godfucked curse of the Earth that is the English language provides for the purpose.

Unix: Linux, bsd, OSX and many more OS’s are Unix based
(Afaik unix was it’s own OS back in the day but i have often heard that unix nowadays is regarded as more of a philosophy)
Porn: is often used to say something looks really good: foodporn, earthporn etc.
Not based on as in they use the Unix code (except BSD from what I’ve heard in other threads here) they are unix-like GNU literally means GNU’s not Unix
All these answers are good but for the real answer: because reddit did a thing where they had "X"porn around like, idk, '07 ish. Earthporn, spaceporn, unixporn, etc. It’s just (supposed to be anyway) very pretty pictures of pretty things related to the topic, like for instance a scenic waterfall for earthporn, some cool nebula with a bunch of colors added in for spaceporn, and a sick i3 rice for unixporn.
